I was kind of shocked after all the reading I had done.... could that statement be somewhat true :think:
Well I don't have a bubbler myself but I was always told if enough people say something it's either true or a conspiracy :D so if mac and all the people on here say that 4 plates makes them an awesome brown spirit in 1 run while a pot generally requires 2 I'd be inclined to believe them. In terms of neutral I don't think anyone here would say 4 plates alone will get perfect neutral but thats why most people chasing neutral go for 5 or more plates plus a packed section which provides a large number of "plates" in a shorter distance. Just my understanding of it :handgestures-thumbupleft:
